TV show description:
In this animated series, humble and lovable Shoeshine Boy, is in truth the superhero Underdog (Wally Cox). When villains threatened, Shoeshine ducked into a telephone booth where he transformed into the caped and clumsy costumed hero.
As part of their nefarious plans, the villains almost always managed to menace Underdog’s crush, canine TV reporter Sweet Polly Purebred (Norma MacMillan).
